Firstly, dego was chosen as my artist name when it was suggested to me by a friend and it includes the first two letters of my real first and last names.

I got into producing music way back in the early nineties where my only piece of equipment was an Amiga 500 running the MED tracker . For a long time my music making was just a hobby and my tracks, if you could call them that, were only shared amongst friends.

I got into producing music way back in the early nineties where my only piece of equipment was an Amiga 500 running the MED tracker . For a long time my music making was just a hobby and my tracks, if you could call them that, were only shared amongst friends.

My first real piece of musical equipment was a Yamaha W5 workstation which was followed by a Roland MC-303 and a Yamaha AN1x . These introduced me to the world of Midi and from there I expanded my interest and knowledge of music production. I did get into writing some audio software for the Amiga . Most notably are a plug-in for OctaMED called Midi Companion , W-Lib which is a patch librarian for the Yamaha W5 and a sequencer for the Yamaha AN1x .

As the years went by my Amiga 500 was upgraded to an Amiga 1200 which in turn was upgraded to a Windows PC. Using a Windows PC introduced me to the world of more powerful sequencing software, VST instruments and VST effects. The more I delved into my new virtual studio, the less I used my old hardware.

I started out with Fruity Loops and progressed to Ableton Live which I still use today. I only wish I had the tools that I have now back when I first started, things would have been very different.

With regard to my style of music, I don't have a specific style but go with what feels right at the time of writing. This is reflected on my music page where you will find a little bit of everything. House, Technom Breakbeat, Drum'n'Bass and Hip Hop.
